It's a HUGE problem in healthcare, and it only got worse with Obamacare. There were so many things done with that fucking law that have yet to be reported by the media it's incredible. One in particular sanctioned a huge shell game of billions of dollars whereby Medicare and the insurance companies are bilked and the profit is handed over to "non-profit" hospitals that are already making so much money they don't know what to do with it all. And there is no requirement whatsoever that the profits be used to provide care to the indigents - the very purpose of the program the democrats used to enable this massive theft.
Research the 340B program and the changes that took effect immediately when Obamacare was signed into law and its implications sometime. It's unfuckingbelievable.
